Dermal fillers are a popular option among those who are looking for a safe and non-surgical way to reduce the appearance of creases, hollows at the cheeks, along the nasolabial folds and loose, saggy skin. Dermal fillers are an excellent way to get the desired aesthetic results if one is hesitant about undergoing surgery or wants to reduce recovery time.

In this blog, Dr. Mrinalini Sharma discusses who makes a good candidate for a dermal filler procedure. Read on for more insights.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a wonderful solution for combatting facial fat loss. Volume loss is an aspect of facial aging involving fat loss in the face as soon as one age. This makes one look more tired, with deeper fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are injectable substances (varying from human fat to collagen) that can be used to fill in deep wrinkles, expression lines, pitted scars, and sunken areas of the face. The procedure can be completed during lunch break, and one can return to normal activities afterwards.

Most people interested in dermal fillers are often in their mid to late thirties and want to get rid of premature signs of aging. Younger individuals show interest in dermal fillers to reverse the signs of aging rather than to enhance their appearance or to correct any deformities.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Dermal Fillers? 

There are no restrictions based on gender or age. Non-smokers with reasonable expectations of the results make the best candidates for this or any other cosmetic procedure. The reason non-smokers are the best candidates is because their body tends to heal faster, and smoking exacerbates fine lines and wrinkles and shortens the duration of the effects. Candidates for dermal fillers should have moderate to severe wrinkles, folds, or other problem areas without needing surgical correction (for example, under-eye circles, sunken cheeks, etc.).

The procedure is an excellent option for patients with specific concerns that do not extend to the rest of the face. For instance, if one feels they want to fill in nasolabial folds but do not think they are extreme enough to warrant a facelift.

Certain injectable filler types may not be suitable for patients with a history of severe allergies since they run the risk of causing an allergic reaction. The surgeon will examine the medical history and allergen history to determine if an injectable option won't lead to a reaction.
